A traditional background.
Over the years gained experience
working in my own studio and teaching ceramics at Uitenhage
College.
Attending Workshops in South Africa, presented by both local
ceramists and ceramists from overseas, have been
invaluable.
Regularly exhibited at various judged
exhibitions.
At the moment I am experimenting with combining different
techniques, materials and firing methods.
Though no longer teaching ceramics
I am still very much involved in an Open Atelier situation where we work as a
group on Saturdays.
May 2008
For the last 2 years I
have been teaching again at the Blokstallen. Filling in for Hans
Westerweel.
September 2008
The
teaching position at the Blokstallen is now an official appointment. Two evening
classes per week and on Saturdays "Open Atelier".
August 2012
Due to a drastic reorganisation at CKB/De Maagd the
"Blokstallen" (part of CKB/De Maagd) have been closed down. The
various departments have been moved to the main building. Time for me to
"retire"......
However, not from CLAY.
September 2012
The formal course has been replaced by:
"Open Atelier op Zolder."
Pay as you go for:
Materials, Firing costs, Use of space, tools and
equipment.
February 2015
On 12th February 2015 I stopped my activities
at CKB/De Maagd.
I will miss the interaction with the people in the
Ceramics groups. Their friendship and their
inspiration.
Time to enjoy my Studio at home. 3 Floors above
Holland.
